Land of Erin.

DUBLIN, Dec. 2.-The second trial Of Lord
Mayor Sullivan for printing in his paper re-
ports of suppressed branches of the National
League took place today and resulted in
conviction. Mr.. Sullivan was sentenced to
two months Imprisonment, but without
labor. Lord Mayor Sullivan took his seat on
the bench in the Court of Assizes today and
kept it up until the commission was read
He then made formal protest against the
omission of his name and Wi withdreW drew. from an tne
court. Mr. Sexton, the High Sheriff, accom-
panied him in his withdrawal.
Mr. Timothy Harrington, member OF Par
lament for the harbor division or Dublin,
was arrested today in this city. He Is a
brother of Mr.. Edward Harrington, member
of Parliament, who was arrested at Tralee,
County Kerry, yesterday.
Mr.. Sullivan, who will be treated in prison
as first class misdemeanant, has announced
that he will not appeal from the decision OF
the court, but will suffer his punishment
proudly as he would if 1t were ten times
greater. The Harrington brothers are both
charged with publishing reports OF meetings
of suppressed branches Of the League In
their paper at Tralee, and they will be tried
in that town.
Aimed Against the League.
The arrest of Harrington is regarded in
Nationalist circles as an attempt to cripple
the League, he being the principal director
since the arrest of O'Brien and the depar-
ture of Dillon on his tour in Scotland and
England. Harrington is. however. able to
prove that for the last five years he has had
no connection with the kerry Sentinel"
the Tralee paper which published the pro-
ceedings Of suppressed branches of the
League.
Harrington was met by an immense crowd

latter charged the crowd and used their
batons freely, injuring many persons. Har-
rington was bailed. 1t is rumored that

The Champion Resigns.
LONDON, Dee. 2-Advices from Melbourne
say that Beach, the loarsman. has resigned
the championship and finally retired from
aquatics, and also that Hanlan has chal-
lenged Kemp.
Those Suspicious Letters.
The London Standard claims to be in pos
session of reliable information concerning
the forged documents sent to the Gar pur-
porting to be from Prince Bismarck in ex-
PLANTATION of his attitude on the Bulgarian
question. The paper states that Prince Fer
dinand before going to Bulgaria, despairing
of securing aid of the central powers In
establishing his right to the throne, appealed
to the Car, strongly disapproving the policy
Of Prince Alexander. he determined to re-
store friendship between Russia and Bull
garia Some friends OF Prince Ferdinand
sent letters to the Russian Imperial Chan
cellor, purporting to be written by Prince
Bismarck approving Prince Ferdinand's
action. The Czar was therefore convinced
of Bismarck's duplicity, as the latter at that
time officially disapproved Prince Ferdi-
nand's acceptance of the throne of Bulgaria.

Death orMr. Clayton i'm Manchester.

Mr.. Charles A. Clayton, a native OF
Augusta, Ga, but who has been a resi-
dent of Richmond and vicinity for the
past ten or fifteen years, died in Man

agent here, then in the Dispatch mall
ing department, and later in the Ches-
apeake and Ohio railway offices. He
was conductor in the Pullman service

sumption, which had annoyed him Tor
some years back, began its last ana
final attack. Mr. Clayton was of an al
fectionate disposition, and made num-
Der of friends here. In his sickness he
had every attention that could be de-
sired. He was we'll aware Of his APP
preaching death, and seemed perfectly
resigned and even anxious to go hence.
He was a Catholic and received the
final sacraments andall the consultations
of his faith. He leaves a young wife
and two small children. The funeral

EXCITING RUNAWAY
UEMBNAGEABLE HORSES SWEEP rRE
STREETS YESTERDAY.
An Accident on Grace Street Followed
by Another on Frank
lin.

Mr.. e. A. Saunders had quite costly
runaway yesterday safternoon, but for
tunately no one was seriously hurt.
Between and 8 o'clock he and his
wife were being driven down Grace
street in his carriage, drawn by pair
of handsome iron-gray horses recently
purchased by him. When about Fifth
street the horses, which were pampered
and very fiery, took fright, or from some
other cause became unmanageable, and
dashed off down the street at full speed.
The driver was utterly unable to
control the dashing steeds, and, seeing
that there was a good prospect for HIM
self and wife to be hurled into an un-
welcome eternity, Mr.. Saunders direct
ed his driver to run into tree, and
thus bring the animals to halt. The
order was obeyed, and, with fearful mo-
mentum, first the end of the pole and
then the carriage ran against a tree
opposite the Seventh-Street church.
There was O mighty crash, and the
handsome vehicle was made q wreck
Fortunately, while all the occupants were
only slightly bruised, none of them
were seriously hurt. Both of the
horses were cut in collision with the
tree, and one of them was hurt quite
badly. The other one became detached
and continued its course down Seventh
street.
At the corner of Franklin this horse
collided with buggy, in which were
seated Judge 4. G. Minor and Thomas
G. Jackson, Esq, and both animals
were thrown, the running one being
quite badly injured.
The occupants of the buggy were
thrown out, and Mr.. Jackson was
bruised about the right shoulder and
knee, but not seriously hurt. He was
taken into the office of Dr. George
Ross Tin front OF which the collision
took place., where he received atten-
ton, and later he WAS taken home.
Judge Minor escaped unhurt.
The shafts of the buggy and the har-
ness were badly broken up; otherwise
the vehicle, which belonged to Mr..
Claiming Boiling, was but little dam
aged.
Taking all of the circumstances con-
nected with the accident into considera-
ton, all parties came off well. 1t was
almost a miracle that no one was seri-
ously hurt.

The Prohibition Act Against Color.
ed Mechanics Rescinded.

The Committee on Grounds and
Buildings at its meeting Monday night,
on motion OF Mr.. Crenshaw, reconsid-
cred and rescinded the resolution
adopted some time ago prohibiting
colored mechanics from working on
the new City Hall. All the members
of the committee were present, the
subject was freely and lengthily dis
cussed, and voted for unanimously.
Although the committee has thus
acted. no colored mechanics, it is
thought, will be employed at present
on the City Hall, as such step would
seriously cripple the work. All the
mechanics (stonecutters) are members
of union the laws of which prevent
them from working with men who are
non-members. The membership is en-
tirely white and numbers over a hun
dred. 1t is said that there are only
eight or nine colored men in this city
claiming to be stonecutters, and If any
of these were put to work the white
ones would leave-not because their
successors would be colored, but be
cause they would not be members OF
their Union. The reason no negroes
are in the union is said to be because
none have served a regular apprentice
ship.

Chris. Bakers Terror.

There are some who doubt il Chris.
Baker, the alleged body-snatcher, is in
the terror which he pretends, but people
about the Medical College, where he
keeps himself, believe in the reality of
the fears he expresses.
There can be no doubt that he has
been threatened by some colored people.
There can be no doubt that they want
him TO get out of this city. II he doesn't
they will certainly make it unpleasant
for him. Some months ago he very
foolishly made threats against another
colored man, and he has ever since been
in bad odor with that race.
Probably change Of residence would
be better for him and for the city. He
was convicted once of robbing a grave
at Oakwood. Another time he stole a
body out of the dead-house at the aims
house and put a log in the coffin in
place of the body. There is no longer
any stealing of bodies for Virginia
medical colleges, but many of the col
ored people here will not believe it.
Hence their hostility to Chris. Hence
he says that he will nS stir from the
Medical College.

REVIVAL MEETINGS.
Continued Interest In the Churches
OF Richmond.

The revival meetings going on at
Park-Place Church are growing in
spiritual influence. Large crowds at
tend the services, and last night there
were about ten or eleven conversions.
The meetings continue all the week.
LAuREL-srBEET CHURCH.
The meetings at Laurel-Street church
grow in interest. Last night and the
night before the room was crowded
almost to its utmost capacity. From
the beginning to the close of the ser
vices the closest attention was paid.
Nearly the whole congregation re-
mained last night TO the after-meeting
and many went to the altar and pro-
fessed conversion. Up to this time
about forty persons have professed con-
version. The meetings begin every
night at half-past Z o'clock.

NO TrDrNGs OF MRS. WALKER.
a Mystery That But Deepens Day
by Day.

The matter of Mrs. Sarah A. Walker S
disappearance remains as much mys-
terry as ever, and, though it has been
nearly three weeks since she left her
home on Tulip street, nothing has been
seen of or heard from her. Since Police
Justice Richardson, from his private
purse, offered reward of S25 number
of the habitu6S of the river have told
him that they are searching for the
body.
Many believe that Mrs. Walker van
deredto the river and fell, or under mo
mentary alteration of the mind jump
ed, into the water, and that her body
will be found somewhere along the
banks of the stream.
So much confidence has been felt In
the theory Of drowning that very little
has been done in the way of a systema-
tic and persistently- prosecuted lnyestl-
CATION on the part of the authorities.
II seems not unlikely that Mrs Walker
is in the river, but it is by no means
certain. She was pious woman was
devoted to her daughter was in the
perfect possession Of her senses (as for
as is KNOWN, and had had nothing to
cause her unhappiness. True her
daughter and her daughters husband
were poor, but she was more OF help
to than an encumbrance upon them,
and they made her home very pleasant,
il is said.
Perhaps it would be well for the au-
tborities not TO rely too implicitly upon
the theory of suicide.
II is strange if she jumped in the
river that the shawl which she had
loosely thrown over her head and neck
was not found ON the bank or in the
stream.
n is strange, too, that an aged woman
conld between IL and o'clock at night
walk a mile through that section OF the
city and not attract the attention OF any
one. = A.
Whatever may be the fate of the
missing lady-whether she be at the
bottom of James river, or wandered
into the woods and there died, or be
living in some place now unknown
from all that can be learned there was
always the greatest love and affection
hetween her and her daughter and
dsuobter's husband-Mr. and Mrs.

serving six months as postulants and
eighteen months as novices, they are

a judge can only compel the erection
OF q jail where none exists.
II is, however, not denied that the
Judge can demand that the present
isil shall be placed in proper order and
condition.
Something ought to be done. Our
jail is disgrace to the city. So it has
been for years and years. 1t is not
roomy enough and it is next to impossl-
bic to keep il clean. Worse than that,
it is fire-trap. In case of fire at night
lucky indeed would be the prisoners
il all escaped alive. The wooden
" bridges " there are particularly dan
gerous. No intelligent citizen can
visit the jail without being convinced
that for the number of people conf ned
there it is ll-arranged and dangerous.
and no sergeant can keep it as it should
be kept unless great improvements In
its construction are made.
